I do not know about the accuracy of the reading the psychic reader on Liveperson gave me and do not care about it at this point.

But, I do strongly care about this ridiculous fee the site has overcharged me because of its technical problem.

A while later after I left the room, I saw my transcript on the history menu on the site, and I has been extremely panic and shocked. It charged me $195.20 for 18 mins. Where does 18min came from?

I only got 3min free reading the expert promised me before live chat through a message and 2min pay reading because I cannot afford his rate, which is $10.90 per min, over 2mins.

Then, I have pondered how the 18 min duration came from and noticed that it was generated from fake staring time for chatting, and included free reading time on the free mode, which the site adverties that it's totally free
on the free mode before clicking "hire" button.

The most shocking part of its calculation is that it caculated the time even after I went out the chat room and closed window.

According to my "transcript" from the "history" section, the expert kept saying alone although I did not answer any his questions because I was not there- I got of the chat room!!!- Basically, after I got of the chat room within 5 min reading including 3min free reading the expert promised me, he kept doing reading alone for over 10mins!!!! This over-10-mins talking himself contributed to generate the ridiculous fee!!

It indicates that its system keeps charge you as long as its reader keeps typing up and staying in a chat room whether or not a client is there.
How ridiculous and unbelievable!!!!

Fortunately(?), I have some evidence to prove my innocence and its ripped-off calculation system.

Before I entered the chat room, I got a message from the expert. The time appeared on the message was later than the starting time of Live chatting.
- It will support that it calculated time in a wrong way.
For example, the time I received the message from him is 10:00pm. But the transcript says that I started to chat before 10pm.

Also, during chatting on the free mode,
there were lines that he mentioned "do not hire me yet" , " I want to save your money" , " now hire" etc.

The other evidence is another message I sent him after I got out of the chatting room. Its time sent to him was ealier than the ending time the transcript indicates.
- If I was chatting with him, how can I possibly wrote a message to him?-

On the message, I apologized that I ran out of the chat room and asked him to write back to me about the reading we did because the transcript did not appear at the moment.
- Now, I guess because he was still typing on the chatting room alone and I could not see the transcript.-

I sent an email to its customer service,
but I am extremly nervous and afraid of being simply ignored or rejected as I read complaints about it on this Ripoff Report website.

Is there anyone who has experienced just like me?
Are there any ways other than waiting its response forever I can get refund my money?

If you have any idea for this problem,
please let me know.
I'd appreciate it a lot from heart!!!

Craziness

AUTHOR: Karen - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, May 12, 2008

That is just crazy! Now the readers are changing the per minute amount during the session? That is just pure craziness. Greed at its worst. Please report this transaction to the Better Business Bureau. Everyone who has money problems with this site and not have it properly refunded should report the transaction to the BBB and copy and paste the transactions to yourself so you will have proof to submit along with your complaint. I am sorry.

Good Luck

Did you check the amount per minute?

Experts can change the rate at the beginning of live chat, did they change it? That is a possibility that you thought you were getting the reading at one price and they increased it when you logged in without you realising.

If you paid more per minute than you had thought you were doing, then I think that is the only thing that could of happened.

Which would be a scam in itself. If so then mail customer services and let them know...if they changed the rate without telling you (which would be in your transcript) then you have a case.

i am so sorry that happened to you

If the client quits the session then the person can not type in the box. that is it and that is all.... If you did not quit the session but shut your computer off ok.. if you did not quit the sesssion then why did your box dissapear..
there must be a way for you to track it..and again.. with the switch over and the problems that there have been no on knows who is doing what,,, i would suggest that you ask the company how much you were charged a minute.. the person could have changed the amount charged very easily.... and if you did not quit the session , wouldnt it have popped back up on your screen saying you were still in a chat.. It does from this side.

I hope you will be able to get a credit for the time that you were not in chat. I wonder if you hit the "end session" button? I am not sure what happens if you just close the window but it sounds as if the session stays live. I guess LivePerson does not want to take the loss out their pocket if they credit you. Good customer service would want to help and make things right but it seems that is not the case here. Good luck!
